<DIV style="DIRECTION: ltr">I'm 45 minutes into learning how to program using
python. I am reading "Python programming for the absolute begginer" by
Michael Dawson, and the first thing I've done was write the "Game Over"
program. Which I understand is also called the "Hello World" Program. My main
problem at this point is when I try to run the program from the icon on my
desktop it asks me which program to associate it with. The book makes it sound
like it will automatically execute the program. Am I doing something wrong?
